Want A Be Sunflower Card

The inspiration for this card came from Inspired Designs, love the colors and of course the sunflowers.

When starting the card I knew what directions it was headed, but it took on a life of its own, liked the results using the scalloped circles from Spellbinders thought it would make a great picture. The orginial card was 5"x 5" , checked out the local Dollar Store and found an 8"x 8" frame. Will be making another one the same size and then use the larger scalloped cirles and make a bigger version, then will have a three picture grouping. When completed will take photos so you can see the finished product. This will have to wait a few days, as this is my Monday for work.

Kept looking at the picture, and found it necessary to go ahead and make another card. Scored the base of the card to give a lattice look and pierced the paper where the lines intersected. Love all the dimenions. Very simple sentiment finishes off the card using oval shapes.

Have fun with this card, let your imagination run wild.

Seed Accordion Gift Card

One of my favorite sites to check out on a daily basis is "No Time to Stamp?" Sharon has some wonderful projects and tutorials. When I saw her accordion cards it was a must to try them out, my first attempt was a Valentine Card that Billy really liked, even more than the brownies I made for him.

Sharon made a spring card that had pockets and I knew it was a must, I even got seeds, all though I can't use them here in Las Vegas, but will be sending them to my daughter in Reno.

This was a really fun project, the paper used was from my stash, it had to be old. The circles were made using the cutting system from Creative Memories and also the classic scallop circles from Spellbinders and my Big Shot, love these new toys.

Eyelets and raffia were used on the top to complete the card, my alphabet stamps are in Utah so I did used computer generated letters.

This would be a great card for any occasion, let your imagination run wild. Thanks for stopping by today.
